DAVID Hasselhoff claims he passed out Sunday afternoon — not from drinking too much, but because of an ear infection. His daughter, Hayley, called 911 after finding him collapsed Sunday afternoon, and he says his dizziness was caused by a combination of drugs for an ear infection and medicine that prevents alcoholics from drinking. This isn’t the first time Hasselhoff has come up with a medical explanation. In 2006, after he was barred from a British Airways flight, his rep said he was feeling sick from antibiotics for a cut arm.
